Ms. Atkinson provided history on the Blackberry Festival which was suggested by past Bremerton Mayor Louis Mentor’s wife Paulette and began on 4th Street moving four years later to the newly constructed Bremerton Boardwalk. The festival has remained there ever since and continues to grow each year with vendor booths being sold out within two weeks of opening the application process. She provided a schedule of 2014 events highlighting some of the main activities and explained how they are giving back to the vendors for their support over the past 25 years. The Board thanked Ms. Atkinson for her diligence and hard work managing the festival over the last 25 years. In response to CEO Rothlin’s inquiry, Ms. Atkinson stated the Festival was named by Mrs. Mentor because you can’t get rid of blackberries and Labor Day was the best timing because blackberries are in season.

Mr. Posner provided an overview of activities scheduled for the Blackberry Fly-In at the airport that is a combined event with the downtown Festival and includes bus shuttle service between the two locations. He highlighted the Young Eagles flights for ages 8-17 which are provided at no cost to increase youth awareness and interest in aircraft and flying. He also described the Bonanza formation flying demonstrations that will be held downtown and at the airport.

Mr. Haughton provided a history and overview of the car show that is held at the airport in conjunction with the Fly-In explaining that it is a $15 donation for the cars participating in the show but no cost to visitors. He emphasized that weather plays a big part in the success of the events.
